"Great ambition? Isn't education great enough? Mr. Li, I am now fully committed to education. What exactly do you want to say?" Fang Zheng asked in confusion.
This old man has something to say, but he just doesn't say it directly. Why is he hesitating?
Seeing that he was not getting the point, Li Yansong said angrily, "What kind of education are you talking about? Do you think you are cut out for it?"
"You are just too young, too simple, and sometimes childish!"
Fang Zhengyi narrowed his eyes gradually, and the alarm bells in his heart began to ring: "Mr. Li, let's talk it out nicely. It's pointless for you to make personal attacks here."
"Tell me the truth, do you have many children at home and want to get more tuition reduction? Let me tell you, even though you teach your children, we treat everyone equally. If I give you a discount, others will come up and ask for a discount. Will I still run my education business?"
Fang Zhengyi said this, leaning close to Li Yansong's ear: "But considering that you are our elementary school teacher, I will tell you some information in private... The emperor's grandson may also come to our place. Otherwise, think about it, can our security be so strict? Think about it! Spend more money to invest in the future, I don't need to calculate this for you, right?"
Li Yansong's eyes suddenly widened, and his attention began to wander...
The emperor’s grandson is also going to Yucai Primary School. This news is really exciting.
And it is very likely! According to the prince's temperament, and His Majesty's trust in Fang Zhengyi, this situation is not impossible!
Li Yansong licked his lips, glanced back at Zheng Qiao and the others, then turned around and asked quietly, "Really?"
"I'm not lying at all." Fang Zheng vowed.
"Can't you give me a cheaper tuition?"
"No! But we have the enrollment brochure, so if you follow the rules and get the brochure, you can get a discount. Based on your qualifications, I can give you a maximum discount of 20%!"
Admission brochure?
That thing had already been crumpled up and thrown away!
Li Yansong regretted his decision, but he remained calm and said, "What brief? I was pulled here by others. I didn't receive any brief."
"Tsk, the people below are just unreliable! It's okay, I'll give you another one, just don't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, I will never do such a mean thing."
As Li Yansong was speaking, he suddenly slapped his thigh!
This bastard was led astray by just a few words. How could he still think of enrolling his children in school?
When Fang Zheng saw him patting his thigh with an excited expression, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
This old man is quite concerned about his descendants. He probably thinks that his younger generations can go to school with the emperor's grandson, and he has begun to imagine the bright future of his family.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled and whispered, "Mr. Li, don't be too excited. Good days are still to come!"
"Good day? What good day?"
Li Yansong suddenly felt a little sad. What’s wrong with today’s young people? Communication is so difficult. Is the generation gap so big?
The two of them spoke their own words and were both confused for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, Fang Zheng knew that he had misunderstood. He hesitated and said, "Mr. Li, do you have something else to say?"
Seeing that the conversation was back on track, Li Yansong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it is something, but it is not a big deal. I just want to give you some life advice because you are young."
"You, you have made outstanding achievements at such a young age. Although you are a little unkempt and often dislike people, you are capable. The court has always been unconventional in employing people. As long as you have real ability, you should work for the court. But look at you now?"
"Surrounded by women and children all day long, it's really a waste of your abilities. I can't bear to see you like that! To be honest, at my age, I don't want anything else. I have a good reputation and a wealthy family. My only wish is to select more talented people for the court before I retire."
"It's not just me. Everyone in the cabinet thinks you are the talent. His Majesty and the Crown Prince both like you. You should also make progress on your own. Why did you resign out of nowhere?"
Li Yansong spoke with great sincerity, just like an elder at home teaching him.
Fang Zhengyi was almost moved by what he heard. Someone still values me so much? I didn't expect that. Did Li Gong really consider me a relative?
"Mr. Li, what you said is very good, but why didn't you stop me from resigning?"
Stop? Who knew that the Jinyiwei would become what they are today?!
Li Yansong blushed slightly: "This...You resigned suddenly at the beginning. Everyone thought that you were the emperor of Jin and wanted to avoid suspicion for a while, so they didn't stop you. Who knew that you had no intention of coming back after resigning."
"Hmm? It's not that simple." Fang Zhengyi said calmly, "What about becoming an emperor? Everyone knows it's just a show. Who would take it seriously?"
"The reason I resigned was because Miao Han felt lonely being alone, so she insisted that I find her some sisters. If the court knew about it, they might have an impact on the royal family. Wasn't I resigning to appease everyone's dissatisfaction? Lord Li wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"
This, this, this, pure beast! Pick yourself clean,
You actually put the blame of your romantic debt on the princess?
Li Yansong's old face flushed: "What are you talking about? That's your family matter, who knows?"
Fang Zheng's mouth curled up, and things seemed to be getting interesting.
"Mr. Li, let's be honest and stop pretending to have something to say, or I'll leave." Fang Zheng made a gesture to leave.
Li Yansong pulled the corner of his mouth and sighed helplessly in his heart.
This kid is really stubborn. It seems I have no choice but to confess.
"Okay, then I'll tell you directly. Since Tao Hui took over the Jinyiwei, the court has been in chaos. The Jinyiwei has been arresting people at random, and some people have been convicted for their words. No one can solve this chaos right now."
"I can only give it a try on you. His Majesty trusts you, and many people in the court agree to help you. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will have a chance to reinstate you."
Fang Zheng frowned when he heard this: "The Jinyiwei are so corrupt that they start arresting people just because of a disagreement?"
"Yes, someone in the Hanlin Academy was arrested for discussing state affairs without even a reason. The situation has come to this point, and His Majesty has no intention of calling a halt. Now there is no time to lose." Li Yansong said distressedly.
Having said this, Fang Zhengyi has already started to ponder in his mind.
He has a general idea of the current situation...
"Then how does Lord Li want me to cooperate?"
Li Yansong was delighted, it seemed that Fang Zhengyi was moved.
Sure enough, few men are willing to hang around women and children every day. Why would they just come out and become officials?
"This is actually quite simple. Tao Hui has loopholes. Jinyiwei's popularity is not as high as before. We can start from here. It's much easier to find the places where you are needed. Jinyiwei was founded by you. You should have many confidants inside, right? You can make some arrangements among them, and we will help you. Only when we cooperate can we have a better chance. Tao Hui is not worthy of the position, so let him go back to where he came from."
"Well, I have been frank with you. What do you think?"
Fang Zhengyi groaned and said, "No."
